in thread programatically setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH

What if your Perl program uses system to call an executable program, which is the one that needs the library? Will setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH in the Perl code work then?

    Did you try it? Anyway, the answer should be yes. I have a few functions that go something like:
    sub exec_something {
  local $ENV{LD_LIBARY_PATH} = "....";
  system some_command => @args;
}
